Rheumatism

1t is an established fact that Hoods Sar-
saparilla has proven an invaluable remedy
in many severe cases of rheumatism, effect
ing remarkable cures by its powerful action
in correcting the acidity of the blood, which
is the cause of the disease, and purifying
and enriching the vital fluid.
1t is certainly fair to assume that what
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for others it
the pains and aches of rheumatism, give
this potent remedy fair trial.
A Positive Cure.

tism in my hips, ankles, and wrists. 1

terrible fire is raging here. The town
is lit up from the market u mile and
half, and everybody is wild with ex-
citcmcnt. The fire department seems
powerless TO check the flames and a
most disastrous burning is predicted.
LATER
The fire is now under control. The
masonic building, opera house and
the large stores of DAILY & Armstrong
and Bailic & Cockser were totally de-
stroyed. Globe hotel Central hotel,
and the stores of j. b. White e. Co,

her company lost their wardrobe in
the opera house. The fire is still
burning but there is no apprehension
of further damage. Several small

Special to the REVIEW.
CoEUR D'ALENE, February 12.-At 7
o'clock this evening, the large
two story frame building in this place
known as Fatty CAROLS saloon and
variety hall was discovered to he on fire
and in " very short time was entirely
consumed The flames gained such
headway and spread 80 rapidly rs to
ut once become uncOntrOllablt So that
nothing could be done to stay the
cunilagration and few effects were
saved from the building. A man and
woman named Haines, inmates OF
the place, We're sleeping in the room in
the upper story when the fire broke
out. Haines beat down several doors
in his effort to escape and when he
reached the front window discovered
for the first time that the woman had
not followed him. He Immediately
started back to rescue her, but was
prevented from reaching the room by
the flames. He only managed to
make his escape after being severely
burned. The woman, Lottie Haincs,
had been sick for some time, which is
supposed to be the reason that she
did not follow the man Haines. She
was burned to death and the chnrred
trunk was found after the fire died
out An old man known ns Uncle
John, fisherman living in the back
room of CAROLS place, dropped dead
of heart disease while trying to save
his effects. The fire was caused by IL
lamp explosion in the upper story of
the building. The loss could not he

tails. They concede that II the pres
ident wants to make the law void
and of no effect, as his selection OF
Mr.. Oberly as commissioner sutlic-
iently indicated, he viii easily find
the way. For while the claims OF
unfortunate democrats whose
claims the president had not
chosen to recognize and to
whom the law has been held
up as a barrier, kept the country
aware that the law still existed.
These people rallied ut the president
for his "civil service nonsense" be-
cause they could not get what they
wanted. But gradually ii has
tlawned upon the democratic mind
tn It the president is steadily organ.
izing the entire service-as Il parti-
san machine and also as Cleyeiand
machine. Then it occurs to the
faithful that the party Is going to
get what it wanted, though some in
dividuals may not, and that 1t Is not
going to be comfortable in time to
come for democrats who fight against
tris deliberately organized machine
Thus there Is heard much less com
plaint. The sOreheads are mostly
silent, and the glad hosannas Of
grateful partisans testify to the wis
dom and virtue of the president.
The only use of civil service re.
form in this state of things is con-
veniently to excuse the president
and other officials when they fail to
satisfy the hungry. That use it now
serves. But it does not prevent the
decapitation of trained and faithful
republicans as fast as the right demo-
crat to serve the party and the presi.
dent can be selected. 1t does not
prevent the removal of many repub-
lcans for doing things which the
new democratic officials are con-
stantly doing without rebuke. !
does not make the public service less
partisan, or more capable, or more
honest, and these were the essential
aims of the reform. No candid
democrat, reviewing what Is known
of Mr.. Garland's department, or of
Sparks and his underIings, or of At
kins and his post tradershlpS, or
Bayard and his foreign ENJOYS and
consuls, or of the appointments in
the revenue service, will venture to
lay that he believes the public SER
vice has as yet been made better
than it was before President Cleve.

IT is now pretty well understood
that aftor the 4th Of March, 1887,
there will be but three persons mem.
bers Of the United States senate who
fought on the Union side during the
war, while there will be sixteen who
fought on the rebel side. The rebels
will be reinforced by four more in
the next two years. This is not II
fair thing, and is poor reward for
the services that the Union soldiers
performed to say the least. If this
is the way things are to be done we
do not think very many Of the old
soldiers will care to defend their
country when their country will not
defend them. While the country
rewards its enemies and neglects its
defenders, there is danger that the
young men of the land will not love
their country to the extent of de-
Tending it with devotion and cour-
age the young men of 1861 did. 1t
would be nice and prudent for the
people who want Il perpetual union
Of the states to give the question
some attention, and that, too, before
very long.
